COTTON VALLEY HORIZONTAL COMPLETION
|
 Brammer Engineering completed its first horizontal Cotton Valley well in late 2007. This was the time in which many operators were beginning to experiment with horizontal fracturing treatments in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Our initial completion parameters for this East Texas well included the following: 2,700' lateral, 500' spacing between fracturing treatments (6 stages), 360,000#s proppant per stage, and the Baker open-hole packer ball drop system. This well had a 30 day IP of 8,000 MCFD. Since 2007, Brammer Engineering has completed over 225 horizontal wells and adjusted our completion techniques significantly, but it is important to establish where we started in the beginning before developing our current processes. Our goal in this article is to provide general details on Brammer's current Cotton Valley completion practices. These procedures have been developed over time, through experience, to target more effective reservoir stimulation, drive cost savings, and deliver safe operations that significantly reduce risk.
